Former England captain David Beckham has reportedly been injured in a car crash.

The 39-year-old was said to have been involved in the incident after picking his son Brooklyn up from the Arsenal training ground this morning, the Daily Telegraph reports.

Father and son were in a grey Audi RS6 at the time of the incident, which collided with a silver Mitsubishi Colt. The Audi was reportedly damaged to the driver's side.

The female driver of the other vehicle involved has reportedly been taken to hospital though the extent of her injuries are not yet known.

The 15-year-old Brooklyn plays for Arsenal's under-16 side, and had been playing against Brighton's under-16s at London Colney in Hertfordshire.

One young player claimed David Beckham was injured though not seriously. He did not require hospital treatment.

A source close to Beckham told the Telegraph: “They were shaken. It was quite a heavy prang at quite a speed but everybody walked away uninjured. Everybody’s fine. Thankfully the car’s airbags deployed.”

Another Brighton player, Archie Davies, tweeted: "Just seen David Beckham looks like he got in a car crash and hurt his shoulder."

Team-mate Thomas Cadman thought the whole episode was utterly surreal, tweeting: ‘Weird to play against Brooklyn Beckham earlier. Even weirder to be currently stuck behind David Beckham as he has crashed his car.’

Brooklyn was signed by Arsenal on a short-term contract in November. His brother, Romeo, 12, and Cruz, nine, have also been playing for the club’s underage teams.

David Beckham's eldest son was wanted by both Manchester United and Chelsea, but after showing his skills at the Gunners' training ground, he was quickly snapped up until the end of the season.

The ex-England football captain allegedly reversed back into his drive way and waited for cops to arrive when the incident apparently happened on Friday at 2:30pm.

It’s claimed David pulled out of the driveway and collided with the oncoming driver. There was visible damage on both David’s expensive motor - which is favoured among soccer stars - and the white Acura 4x4.
